McMaster Apartheid Divest Request: See here.

  • In 1986, McMaster University students founded the Anti-Apartheid Committee to demand that McMaster University fully divest from South Africa’s regime of apartheid. Much to the dismay of the Board of Governors, the Anti-Apartheid Committee on campus flourished as students became more aware of McMaster’s investments in the apartheid state. Almost 40 years later, our organization, McMaster Apartheid Divest, serves to follow in the historical footsteps of the Anti-Apartheid Committee and to unite McMaster in promoting the pursuit of justice and collective liberation worldwide.

    • Note: we will not be the first student society to sign
